The first 4 years of your child's life is crucial for their mental development. As your child ages, their mental growth rate will gradually lessen! The chart below shows a normal child's mental growth.

As you can see, from birth until 4 years of age, the rate of your child's mental growth is at 50%. Progressively, this rate of growth will lessen to 30% at 8 years old and further drop to 20% at 18 years old.

In other words, mental growth from birth until 4 years old is just as rapid as it is from the age of 4 to 18 years old.

Research also shows that parental involvement with a child during these early years is directly related to the child's vocabulary development, reading readiness and eventual academic achievement. And good brain development occurs with warm encouragement and positive words from parents.

Hence, INFLUENCE your child NOW while their mental growth rate is still at its peak!
